Camp Quality Convoy
6 July 2024
WiTA participated in the first ever female led convoy in Australia to raise funds for kids experiencing a cancer diagnosis. Truckers from around Australia flocked to Adelaide for the convoy and raised over $142,000 - what a great show of support for a worthy cause by the Adelaide trucking community.
WiTA bp 2024 Toots Awards Lunch
WiTA hosted our inaugral 2024 Toots awards lunch and National Female Truckies Day on Saturday 6th July 2024. We had a fabulous afternoon and enjoyed a heart warming and hillarious presentation from Indigenous female driver, Kattie Risk, and a panel interview with four drivers who shared stories of life on the road for female truckies.
